A Disgusting Traffic.

A San Francisco dispatch says: The exist
epce of a Chinese syndicate for furnishing
straw bouds:iel in order 10 land women here
has been known for some time, but no action
has been taken BY the courts till to day. when
Vice Consul Bee was called by the United
States district attorney to testify to the
necessity of Investigating this Infamous
traffic. The consul testified that he has found
evidence of a syndicate in Chinatown which
furnishes straw bondsmen for the Importation
of women who are TO be used for immoral
purposes. He thought all the bondsmen who
have been put forward for score OF women
now demanding admission should be rigidly
examined The custom has been to ac-
cent these bondsmen on their own oath and
that of two other Chinese. 1t has been found
upon investigation that these bondsmen did
not own the property that they claimed, ana
I'm many cases they couldn't be found In the
city. Thirteen women were in court to-day,
irving to get admitted on bonds 1t Is sd-
mitted among the cooy traders that female
slaves are the most valuable, and all OF those
now under charge of the marshal are young
and good looking. They were brought on the
steamer Beigic, and can not be worth less
than 81. 500 each. They are brought over

but hard usage aud disease generally Kill:

Tired Out.

"Just tired out" the neighbor said,
Turning from the squalid bed,
Where the weary woman lay,
Painting life's last hours away.
Save that sound of sobbing breath,
All was still as coming death;
For the frightened children covered
Where, with heavy brows that lowered,
Meath the long-endurlng strain,
The mute husband bore his pain.
Just tired out-far down below
Waves were fretting on the flow;
Ard the full, recurrent roar
Echoed upward from the shore;
Fainter grew the pulses beat
As the worn hands plucled the sheet,
And the death damps gathered, where
Ruffled all the tangled hair.
Said the watcher at her side,
"She is waiting for the tide"
When the waves had ebbed anew,
The tired life was over, too;
Gone from want, and care, and Ill,
Very peacefully and still,
After all she bore and wept.
Hard-worked wife and mother slept;
Very fair she looked, and meek,
Long dark lashes swept her cheek,
Worn hands crossed upon her breast,
For the "weary was at rest"
: Al the Year Round.

What Kew West Looks Like.

The KEY has about as much shape as
camel and in general way lies east
and west and contains about six square
miles. 1t Is as fiat as a shingle. the
highest point being about fourteen feet
above the mean sea level. To casual
visitor it looks as though the sea- par
ticularly in storm. would submerge
this insignificant rise. but it is a mat
ter of record that it new er has done it.
The CITY covers the western end OF the
kew. and it was. previous to the great
fire of March 80. 1886, very densely
settled, and about as un-American
looking as could well be imagined,
bearing a strong resemblance to West
India town. The houses are of wood
and quite plainly built. There are.
think, only four or five brick buildings.
and certainly not more than six. The
streets are of very good width, tolera-
bly, straight and passably clean. The
roadway is of coral rock. There is M
soil TO speak of; what passes for soil il
trituraxd coral very rich in phos
pilates nnd making an excellent fertili
zer, but by itself deficient in fat. II
garden one must use pick rather thar
hoe. Very few Vegetable are grow
here. and vegetation is confined mainl.
to cocoanut trees. Here and ther,
can be Sc en- a pine or an Alexander, o
star of India or royal poncana.
few mulberry and prickly ash trees an
popenack bushes. Flowers and flower
ing shrabs grow in abundance. Koch
